How to set-up a personal WWW Home Page

In order to set up a personal WWW Home Page you must (in this order)
  1. have an account on the local cluster. Please, contact Professor George Smoot if you do not have one
  2. create in your home directory a directory called WWW readable from everybody:
    $ SET DEF SYS$LOGIN
    $ CREA /DIR [.WWW] /PROT=W:RE
  3. put in [.WWW] the file index.html (see below)
  4. notify Professor George Smoot you have a WWW page.
That's it! If you have the file [.HTML]index.html, then you will access your home page with the following URL:
http://aether.lbl.gov/~youraccountname/
where youraccountname is the name you use when you log-in (The ~ is necessary!).

I suggest you give a look at this tutorial on how to write an HTML page, and to give a look at the Taylor's Rules for Cool Web Pages before going on.
If you are lazy (and I know you are!!!) you can copy this template source file, and edit it.
For you folks who want to know a bit more about the HTML language, there is a HTML quick reference that you can print it by giving the command

lpr -h -Pat21 WWW_ROOT:[WWW.MANUALS.HTML]quick-ref.ps to print in the AT21 printer.

Important!

While reading every HTML page, you can view the code that generated it by selecting the View Source entry.
You can copy every HTML page by selecting the Save As... button, and choosing the desired format for saved document. The default is Plain Text but, by clicking on it, you can choose one of the Formatted Text, Postscript and HTML formats.
